Dear,

Answer to a question of Windows Shell documentation, line 381

According to the Microsoft website, the if the filesize excess the 32 bits, then we should take the 32 LEAST SIGNIFICANT BITS

A "Windows Shell Item" (or "File entry shell item – pre Windows XP" for that matter) is not the same as a "Shell Link Header", for the latter see liblnk

Don't get me wrong you could be right about the the behavior being the same as for the Shell Link Header, but that would need to be proven by tests.
